How much space is available on the iPad?
What iPad are you referring to?
Have you used these two devices together previously?
It may be the iPad does not have enough space to accommodate there backup process?
Actually, it did. In one image, it says that there isn't enough room to sync, in the other it says it cannot backup because the iPad disconnected. Taking off 150mb on the iPad was immaterial to being about to backup.... cleared up 150Mb on the iPad, backup is running...
so much for the error message pointing the right direction... hehehe

Funny, because I thought that was the problem from the beginning. I then thought I must have misunderstood but initially I thought it was the "Mac" that was short of storage. This beggars the question, how much storage to you have free on your Mac?
